Organization Description
Most of the world's poor are farmers, representing the largest and most uniform
group of poor people in the world. One Acre Fund is a start–up NGO in Kenya,
Rwanda, and Burundi that is innovating a new way of helping farm families to
achieve their full potential. Instead of giving handouts, One Acre invests in
farmers to generate a permanent gain in farm income. We provide farmers with a
"market bundle" that includes education, finance, seed and
fertilizer, and market access. Our program is proven impactful – every year, we
weigh thousands of harvests and measure more than 100% average gain in farm
income per acre. We have laser–like focus on generating better lives for the
people that we serve.
We are growing quickly. In seven years, we have grown to serve 135,000 farm
families with more than 1000 full–time field staff. In three more years, we
will at least triple in size, while adding several new countries. Our approach
has won widespread validation, winning grants from the highly competitive
Echoing Green and Skoll Foundations, and the global Financial Times/ IFC award
for "basic needs financing" in 2010 and 2011. Website: www.oneacrefund.orgJob Description
